    Very nice. I hope we have a mission to extract our Tarlac spy in the near future.

    That's exactly what I thought! Or is it Se'lim? Or both? WHY DOES HE USE RUBY SIGNATURES???

    Love these fiction blogs...

    Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    Undercover agent, perhaps?

    It may be time for an extraction...

    The Feds, Klinks , and Roms couldn't figure out it was just the Son'a Collector with a big engine?

    as i recall the collector was to be launched from the engine module after the solar sails were deployed. the collector was meant to destroy the metaphasic rings around the ba'ku world.

    it's good to see these son'a completely built an entire ship within the hollow frame of the collector.

    So.... did The Doctor pretend to be a Tarlac female again?
  • boweninugamiboweninugami Member Posts: 76 Arc User
    Wait...if I read this right, the Dread the Son'a are building is the one that's gonna blow up. As the one with the Ruby signature was the rigged plans and not the real ones. So...

    Oh well played.

    Architect: Did you say...ruby signature?

    Admiral: Yes, again, so unlike you to sign like this.

    Engineer: We're gonna test the engines now sirs.

    Architect: Ruby...OH SHI-.

    BOOM!!

    Spy: Suckers.

    This was the weakest story yet. I usually like these fiction blogs, but here they put too much emphasis on the "twist" character from the beginning. No drama, no suspense, no interesting characters. Just a lame attempt to "explain" why we get the latest faction-agnostic lockbox ship. Pathetic.

    STO is always about the conflict: running through hallways in phaser fights, in space with ships carving pieces of each other like roasts. :tongue:

    I have a question: If the Son'a have been developing this for years, and only just finished in time for the "Alliance", an entity which did not exist prior to 2410 when the Klingons and Federation ended the fighting, how did they ask for the plans to this thing BEFORE the construction had started, and yet still have enough time to to finish this thing by the time of the episode, wherein which we are STILL in 2410?

    This game really has serious timing issues.

    Spies working for the Klingon Empire and Federation, it could be how they knew individually ahead of time?
    If the Son'a were already working on this design anyway, i wonder what it's intended purpose was if the Alliance wasn't around?

    > Okay...so the story is nice...but I have a logical question. Don't we fight a Son'a dread in brushfire? How do we do that when they built one with an exploding engine?!?
    >
    > Also for explaining why we have those ships...why the hell would we MAKE them after stealing the plans instead of dreads we already have anyways? Wouldn't the SF, KDF and RR be better at making their own ships instead if the Son'a ship even if they had the plans? Unless there is more to the story, it doesn't make sense.

    Se'lim caught on that his servant betrayed him before it was launched, so it could be fixed.

    Another OP LockBox ship which ordinary players have little chance of acquiring. wow. how very cutting edge game design this is. way to go, cryptic. woo. hoo. hoo. ray. ta. da.

    you successfully produce a T6 Miranda which is wonderful in all aspects. you give us maps and episodes lately which are amazing to look at and play.

    then you fall right back into One Trick Pony land. to give us a ship which resembles a space going turkey leg. Coincidence? I'm not sure.

    I know you need to keep the lights on and the hamsters fed. But after all this time, you cannot come up with a better way to get all of us players to voluntarily surrender discretionary income to you?

    Really? A one-shot half-baked spinoff race from another one-shot half-baked race? What's the next longest requested feature, playable Grups and Onlies? Bonk, bonk, on the head!

    I can't believe ANYONE requested the stupid Son'a. Then again, to each his own, so maybe someone actually did.

    Looking forward to Season 15's Featured Episode: The Morg and Eyemorg meet Dr. Crusher's ghost-lover during a Pakled revolt led by Sela. Which you'll have to grind 4 times per character. Yay.
